Bush]] and Canadian Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]] in front of "[[El Castillo, Chichen Itza|El Castillo]]" in Chichén Itzá, March 2006]] Fox's autobiography, entitled ''Revolution of Hope: The Life, Faith and Dreams of a Mexican President'', was released in September 2007.<ref>[http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-peppard_0429gl.ART.State.Bulldog.43489d9.html Clock ticking for Allyn on Fox book | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Arts & Entertainment]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930041712/http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-peppard_0429gl.ART.State.Bulldog.43489d9.html |date=30 September 2007 }}</ref> To promote its release, Fox toured many U.S. cities to do book-signings and interviews with U.S. media. During his tour, however, he faced protests from Mexican immigrants who accused him of actions that forced them to emigrate and find jobs in the United States.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130221015559/http://www.el-universal.com.mx/notas/403471.html Fox reaparece en Los Ángeles; entre protestas, defiende logros – El Universal – México<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> He faced the subject several times during interviews, such as one held with [[Fox News]]'s [[Bill O'Reilly (political commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]], who questioned him about the massive illegal immigration problem of Mexicans into the United States.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/former-mexican-president-vicente-fox-debates-immigration-issue-with-bill|work=Fox News Channel|title=Former Mexican President Vicente Fox Debates Immigration Issue with Bill|date=10 October 2007}}</ref> Finally, during an interview with [[Telemundo]]'s Rubén Luengas, the interviewer asked Fox about allegations concerning some properties of Vicente Fox's wife, [[Marta Sahagún de Fox|Marta Sahagún]]. After Fox explained the situation, he asked the interviewer not to make false accusations and to prove what he was saying. Luengas said, "I'm telling you in your face, I'm not a liar." After this, Fox walked out of the studio, calling the interviewer a "liar," "vulgar," and "stupid."<ref>[http://www.telemundo52.com/noticias/14359845/detail.html Entrevista con Vicente Fox causa polémica – Noticias – KVEA Los Angeles<!-- Bot generated title -->]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716203534/http://www.telemundo52.com/noticias/14359845/detail.html |date=16 July 2011 }}</ref> Upon the book's release, some readers viewed several excerpts as being highly critical of U.S. President [[George W. Bush]], considered by many to be a close friend. For example, Fox wrote that Bush was "the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life," and claimed that he was surprised that Bush had ever made it to the White House. Later, in an interview with [[Larry King]], Fox explained that this was a misunderstanding and that what he meant by calling George W. Bush "cocky" was to say he was "confident."<ref>[http://www.laopinion.com/primerapagina/?rkey=00000000000002503550 Polémica por gira de Fox<!-- Bot generated title -->]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071022084351/http://www.laopinion.com/primerapagina/?rkey=00000000000002503550 |date=22 October 2007 }}</ref> Fox also referred to Bush in his autobiography as a "windshield cowboy," due to Bush's apparent fear of a horse Fox offered him to ride.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.correntewire.com/vicente_fox_bush_a_windshield_cowboy_whos_scared_of_horses|title=Vicente Fox: Bush a "windshield cowboy" who's scared of horses – Corrente|access-date=6 November 2016|archive-date=19 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219035051/http://www.correntewire.com/vicente_fox_bush_a_windshield_cowboy_whos_scared_of_horses|url-status=dead}}</ref>
